Thank you for posting this. It’s fun with #levitation ! I want to get into 3D VTuber shenanigans someday, but right now all I’ve got is a half-finished hologram.
I’m glad someone else wants to post animated content here. Here’s a tip from me: on Mbin and Lemmy, nothing works better than an old-school GIF. MP4 isn’t an image format, so Mbin won’t let you upload it.
You can still kind of use MP4, though:
- Upload your MP4 to catbox.moe, like you did here
- Use Ezgif to convert your MP4 to a GIF, probably reducing your video height and width in the process
- After conversion, use Ezgif’s “optimize” tool to further bitcrush your animation down to your instance’s upload size limit, which on Fedia is 5.7MB (6,000,000 bytes)
- Make your link post like you did here, linking to your MP4 on Catbox, but also upload your GIF
You’ll get something like this Alex Blain post. Some front ends display the GIF, and some embed the MP4. Still more might not show a preview at all, but at least they can click your link to see the MP4 like they can on this post.
Thank you for the tips. O did look for older posts here and elsewhere and try to emulate them, so I’m still figuring stuff out
I posted images before buy it looks so so as a post on feeds. But videos and gifs somehow tripped me
Certainly different and IMO more robust than what reddit does. Although tbf I reject modern reddit way so it’s probably quite multimedia supportive enough now
VTuber shenanigans someday,
Me too, but I only thinking of starting with a rudimentary image as a pngtuber
But more than that I don’t think I have a streamer or video content aura lol
I should just try it though and see how it goes as a hobby first
To be honest, PNGTuber avatars are a waste of screen space. You see them speak once, and you’ve already seen their full range of visual emotions. If you’re going to have an onscreen avatar, it had better be as expressive as you are. I’d rather see the default VRoid Studio model with tracking than two commissioned poses.
Most streamers are better off having fullscreen game video. There is absolutely nothing wrong with fullscreen game video. I did it that way for 11 years.
